Torque Specs for EasyStreet front air struts...
Monday, May 14, 2007 9:39 PM
Anybody have them? Or those with the EasyStreet set-up, how do you keep yours tight?

Mine seem to get loose after a while, then the steering wanders, which is VERY dangerous.

(The Front Air Struts are adjustable at the top mounting hole)

You can see it in this pic. The top hole is notched out more than the bottom one.



Thanks!

Unless I'm wrong the notches are for camber bolts....not sure why they are becoming loose tho

the notches are so you dont HAVE to get camber bolts



My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.
JBO lube - they would never have enough in stock and we'd never see RodimusPrime again

They didn't come with any nuts or bolts for mounting them to the knuckles. I used the factory knuckle bolts. No washers either.

Do you suggest some lock washers?

Also, somebody told me 140 ft lbs on the strut bolts (at the bottom, not the top)

Sound good?

Anybody got any pics of these nylon nuts & washers? Maybe my kit got shorted?
